If it weren't for Lu Yu's dissuasion, Noel could not wait for the "gift" to come to the study.
Lulu clenched and unclenched her fists, and finally had no choice but to find a seat and sit down.
If this place is not the palace, and the person in front of me is not Noel, letting this place catch fire for no reason should be a good option.
Noel glanced at Lulu meaningfully along Lu Yu's line of sight, closed his mouth thoughtfully, and stopped mentioning the gift.
He clapped his hands, and a group of maids came over with dried fruits and filled the table. As expected, Lu Yu picked up a piece of dried fruits and fed it to Lulu, which made Noel smile slightly.
.
"Your Excellency Gluttony came to visit unexpectedly. There must be something special that needs my help." Noel, who was chewing dried meat, took the initiative to steer the conversation on the right track.
"This is a chance to talk about something serious." Lu Yu sighed inwardly, and then nodded, "I hope to follow Sligo's army into the Solon front line, preferably in the area with the greatest defensive pressure."
Noel was startled, thought for a moment, and said in surprise: "Follow our legion..."
He frowned, but the corners of his mouth began to rise.
"Your Excellency Gluttony, you are not too worried about Dewek."
Lulu, who was already confused about Lu Yu's borrowing Sligo, was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Lu Yu in confusion, wondering whether Noel's guess was correct.
"With the successive strategic misjudgments, as an emperor, he must have had some doubts about the stability of his authority. During the war, the way to effectively eliminate these doubts was to achieve huge results."
"Ordinary dips will continue to be damaged in the severe cold. The stalemate is a good thing for the entire Mela, but it is not a good thing for Divek. He looks mediocre and even stupid against the backdrop of surrounding countries. If until the disaster of dips ends, he will
His 'stain' cannot be washed away, and this is unacceptable to him."
"When I enter Solon, I will most likely become the object of coercion by him and the various universities in Solon. They will place infinitely high expectations on me and expect me to complete some impossible tasks."
Noel laughed loudly: "Your Excellency Gluttony is very confident about me. Aren't you afraid that I will also have high expectations for you?"
Lu Yu didn't say anything, just stared into Noel's eyes quietly.
Noel suppressed his smile and expressed his gratitude in a serious and humble manner: "Thank you for your trust. In two days, the Third Dragon Slayer Legion will go to Solon for replacement. I will let the legion commander meet you later.
And let him fully cooperate with you."
"You don't ask me why I went to the front?"
"I only know that you are here to end the dip, and other than that, I don't care." Noel said calmly, "The magic tide, the dip spirit, there are too many troubles, and there are fewer rich people coming to the royal city to shop.
Quite a few, this is a huge blow to my little coffers... No one doesn't want peace, are you right?"
Lulu looked at the lovely-looking and slender maids who appeared in groups in the palace and felt a sense of crisis, so she quickly asked.
"Can't it be faster?"
"Ms. Gulu, I'm deeply sorry for this. It takes time to assemble and deploy the legion. Two days is already very unfriendly to the soldiers. I very much hope that Lord Glutton can postpone it for a day so that the soldiers who are regrouping from various places can be restored in full.
Rest and rest.”
As the king of a country, Noel was already very friendly in discussing with him about the deployment of his army. Lu Yu naturally heard the implication of the other party's words and nodded.
"Three days."
Lu Yu found that he still couldn't see through Noel, but in terms of skill and governance level, he was obviously not on the same level as Dewek, Ravenis and the like.
The only thing that is certain is that Noel is true to his appearance when it comes to being loyal to his desires, and his lustfulness is definitely not acting, because after he finished talking about the business, he immediately leaned the recliner towards him, put his arm around his shoulders, and discussed the maids.
"Your Excellency Gluttony, what do you think of these new maid uniforms I designed?"
The overall color scheme is black and white, one black and one white over-the-knee socks and lace gloves. The flesh is exposed where it should be exposed, and the places where it should be hazy are hazy... Lu Yu looked at Noel carefully, but hesitated to speak.
He understands, he really understands.
Noel suddenly laughed heartily and slapped Lu Yu on the shoulder: "I see, you like it very much. Are you interested in matching sets for Ms. Sera and Gulu? Just give me the body size."
The tailoring skills in Sligo are guaranteed.”
Lu Yu's heart was shamefully moved. Sera would definitely not wear it, but if he coaxed Lulu, maybe...
"I will think about it."
Noel observed Gulu's expression, gave up when he felt good, and decisively talked about another matter.
"It is said that your Dawn Collar has recruited many black nuns from Pope Laurent. I think you have not prepared new clothes for them..."
Lu Yu suddenly felt something, and he noticed that Noel's eyes were shining.
"The uniform of the nuns in black is too monotonous, and the combination of deep black and gray is lifeless. You should add some bright colors to the morning collar, establish the aesthetic of the morning collar, and develop some prominent logos... Are you interested? It's free."
Lu Yu politely refused: "In this regard, I prefer to leave it to Gulu. You may not know that she is also an excellent designer."
Hearing Lu Yu mention him, Gulu proudly raised his head and stared at Noel like a boss.
"I see, I was offended." Noel apologized humbly, "The Dawn Territory is far away from the central area of Mera Continent and seems a bit closed. Ms. Gulu has been working hard for the territory and has not been able to have a better dressing experience. In fact,
It’s heartbreaking…”
Along with Noel's applause, the two maids stepped forward.
"Take Ms. Gulu to the 'New Products' warehouse to choose some suitable gifts." Noel said, "We will ship them to the Dawn Territory later... These are some of my thanks. I hope Ms. Gulu will not shirk them."
Lulu looked at Lu Yu hesitantly, saw him nodding slightly to her, and immediately agreed. Before leaving, she blushed and expressed the hope that Lu Yu would come over and help with reference.
Noel changed his playful smile before and said seriously.
"You two are going to stay in Sligo for three days, and it should be this time. Please ask Ms. Gulu to make your choice first. You have plenty of time in the evening to seek your opinion from Mr. Glutton. Now please give him to me. I want to talk to him."
Discuss something important."
After watching Lulu leave, Lu Yu had to emphasize: "If it is an internal matter in Sligo, please forgive me for not being able to provide any help. Neither the Dawn Leader nor I want to get involved in the four major countries."
Noel was smiling and motioned for Lu Yu to follow him.
Entering the mansion not far from the study, Lu Yu immediately regretted it.
How stupid it would be for me to believe that this guy Noel really has something important to ask.
On the first floor of the mansion, beautiful foreign girls in various costumes stood in a row under the leadership of Xiao Jingjing. Their anxiety about the future made them tremble. They all lowered their heads, but the maids who patrolled back and forth would considerately.
He held up their chins with his hands and told them to smile.
A siren in a maid uniform, a cat-ear clan in a purple mage robe, a demon fox in an apron and nothing else, an elf in heavy armor...
Different clothes, different combinations, and different races, Lu Yu felt like he had plunged into a comic exhibition, where there were ser.
Noel opened his arms towards the many beautiful foreign girls, then turned to face Lu Yu, and said excitedly: "Now that Ms. Gulu is no longer with you, you can choose as you like... Don't worry, I won't tell her.
, and then it will be sent to Dawn Collar along with the clothes and items she selected."
Lu Yu covered his face. He didn't know what expression to use to face this overly "righteous" guy.
Noel embraced his shoulders enthusiastically: "Your Excellency Gluttony, I can understand that you are afraid of Sera. After all, she has always been strong and she must be very resistant to sharing with others, but you also seem to be afraid of Gollum.
Madam."
"This won't work. If you can't be stronger, you will be caught by these women. As a lord of a place, your authority must be established. You can't indulge her infinitely just because you love her."
Listening to Noel's experience, Lu Yu quickly interrupted, saying that this misunderstanding was too deep.
He wanted to directly point out that he did not need to "choose a concubine", but he suddenly froze and touched his chin and thought for a while.
Noel, who thought his words inspired Lu Yu, showed a childish expression of relief. Wandering among the beautiful foreign girls, he simply hugged a shivering rabbit-eared tribe, but when he saw Lu Yu...he immediately
He let go of his hand.
He always did what he said - let Lu Yu choose first.
"His Majesty Noel seems to know the thoughts of girls very well?"
Noel smiled humbly: "I know a little bit, but it seems that Mr. Gluttony needs to consult me... Bang bang bang."
With the sound of his clapping, the door of the mansion was closed tightly, the maids brought the alien girl to the corner, the curtains fell, the lighting crystals lit up, and the soundproof circle was activated, covering the two of them.
Completed in one go, one can’t help but sigh…how skilled!
"Which beautiful girl is causing the glutton to worry about you? You might as well tell me."
Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, and after carefully considering his words, he said softly: "I know a girl who likes another girl."
Noel, who had just waved to the maid for tea and cakes, waved his hands repeatedly to stop the maid who was about to step into the soundproof circle.
He stared at Lu Yu in surprise and amazement. Those bright eyes made Lu Yu panic, worried that he might guess something.
The surprise on Noel's face quickly subsided, replaced by a meaningful smile, a silent smile on the corner of his grinning mouth... This was even more frightening than when he stared directly at himself.
"Do you, Mr. Gluttony, also like to see beautiful girls?"
Lu Yu's head was buzzing.
He found that chatting with Noel was really difficult. He could always lead the topic into unknown areas that were dark in front of him, and he never tired of it.
This sentence contained too much information, and just the word "ye" revealed a lot of things, but Noel didn't care at all, and kept laughing, as if he knew everything.
Before Noel could share anything, Lu Yu hurriedly said: "I mean it literally, a girl likes another girl, and it's a secret crush."
Noel finally stopped going crazy, the smile in his eyes disappeared little by little, and asked seriously and seriously: "Is this the kind of love I understand?"
Lu Yu collapsed. It was okay that Noel didn't say anything. If asked, he would have to provide additional explanations.
"It's just love, pure love."
"Women and women..." Noel touched his chin and thought. After a long time, he raised his head and said, "What do you want to ask, Lord Gluttony?"
"As you know, this is a one-sided secret love. The other party does not know that her feelings for him are in this form. They always thought it was friendship... But the girl does not intend to stop there and wants to go further.
, longing for her to know her own feelings."
Noel clicked his tongue: "I don't know how the glutton's country views this kind of relationship. At least in the continent of Mera, it is taboo. Same-sex love is considered filthy in various religions and beliefs.
Before the coming of the Holy Spirit, the church in Solon had secretly burned two such lovers to death, and no one was held accountable."
"Loving each other but not having an heir is not beneficial to the country. This is how most nobles and rulers view it. Even if it is me, I will choose to ignore it... Don't be surprised by my confession, Lord Glutton. I am also an emperor.
Sligo is my property and there are certain things that I naturally oppose to some people in order for it to continue."
Noel cautiously confirmed: "Maybe I should be happy for this couple. They live in a special area where they don't have to worry about secularity or religion?"
Lu Yu nodded slightly.
"Then what's left is the problem of the relationship between the crush and the crush... Do you want to help them resolve it?"
"I want to first confirm how the person I have a crush on views being admired by someone of the same sex, and whether she can accept it... I thought about a lot of things along the way, but they all seemed unsafe and I was worried about her realizing it."
Noel thought for a while and clapped his hands suddenly: "This is easy. In the name of being a guest, I will bring the secret crush to Sligo, and I, a ridiculous and stupid guy in their eyes, will arrange the 'plot' for them
, you only need to stand aside and observe, and you will get the answer."
"Your Excellency Gluttony, this method has been tried and tested. Every time I use liars to have fun, I can always see countless details in this kind of sitcom."
After careful consideration, Lu Yu felt that Noel's method was indeed feasible.
As long as you arrange some special scenes, bring Lulu to see them, and ask those questions naturally, Lulu will not notice the real intention.
Just...how should I speak?
In Noel's eyes, Lulu is his mistress, while Sera is the principal. Once he says that Lulu is the one he has a crush on, Noel will definitely guess what...
After much thought, Lu Yu decided to sacrifice one person's reputation to save Sera.
